Welcome to Scotland

A holiday to Scotland is always amazing thanks to our #ScotSpirit - quite simply it is everywhere you go. This year, we're combining our ancient monuments, famous battlefields and traditions with a celebration of our legendary myths, folklore and unearthed gems in the Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology 2017.

So, if you're looking for the fun of a ceilidh, the mystery of Nessie and the wonder of the Northern Lights, then Scotland's for you.

Great ideas for your holiday
